The recent controversy surrounding the Miss Universe 2025 competition has raised serious concerns about the behavior and language used by organizer Khun Nawat Itsaragrisil during an interaction with Miss Universe Mexico 2025, Fatima Bosch.
Given the gravity of the situation, it is advised that Mr. Nawat hold a public press conference to issue a sincere apology for his inappropriate remarks and methods. Reports indicate that he used the English term “dumb” in reference to contestants and allegedly instructed his team to lock the meeting room doors, warning that anyone who left would be disqualified.
Mr. Nawat is encouraged to reflect on his actions and decide whether to continue in his role or step down. Although his contributions to Thai tourism and cultural promotion through the pageant industry are significant, this incident has damaged both his and Thailand’s reputations.
Should he choose not to resign, Mr. Nawat must improve his communication skills, particularly his use of English, as limited proficiency may have contributed to misunderstandings. Instead of calling someone “dumb,” he could have expressed his point more diplomatically.
“It would be unwise if you listened only to the Mexican National Director.”
Author’s summary: The article urges Khun Nawat Itsaragrisil to publicly apologize, reflect on his role, and improve his English to restore trust and preserve Thailand’s global image.
